Bday 25, 1926L F. S. OPPENHEIM CONTAINER Filed D ec. 17, 1924 .A'foRNEvEil terior sides and bottom of the casing` to the height of the.contents, said. liners ltl and contents preferably extending asubstantial distance below the top of the casing:r for the purposesWhiclrrvill hereinafter appear.

Where the contents occupying space A (not shown) lies .lush with the topedges of the liners 18, the body portion 19 may bc arranged to abut thecontents and where such contents (see 2) comprises radio set having theusual levers and other like control means which project beyond itsenclosing cabinet, a novel lorm of top cushioning member 22 may beprovided which accommodates the said projecting parts and acts tosupport and space the set from thc top cover of the casing.

As seen from Figs. 4 and 5, the top cush ioning member 22 is preferablyconstructed of a single sheet olf corrugated paper board cut to theshaped blank 22L provided -with crease liners 22b und folded to have arecu tangular shaped recessed body portion 23. All the edge portions ofmember 22 are folded to extend back and then intolded from the frontsurface 23 01"' portion 23 to forni tubular sections 24, the upstandingWalls 2li of said sections 9A; serving to support and space the contentsfrom the top of the casing.

The sections 24 are preferably made reim tively Wide so as 'to extendover into the acking space to provide a cushioning liller iietween thecontents and the top of the caing 10 as shown in Fig. 2.

lin the practice of the invention, the side and end partition liners 18are placed in position 1n casing l0 and are held in their'respectiveplaces by means of the bottorn liner 18 as is clearly shown in Figs. land 2. Having arranged these liners in position with their body portions19 spaced inwardly 'from the various Walls ot' the casing, the radiosetor other article to be packed' is then lowered into place, the sideWall of the set abutting against the walls or" the liner 18 and beingspaced thereby a substantial distance from the walls of the easing l0.lVith these parts in position, the top cushioning member 22 is insertedin the top 'opening of the casing With'the recessed portions 23 thereofarranged to enclose the various projecting; parts, and the section 2liabutting the panel of the set, the member 22 being dimension'ecl to theproper height to fill the' space between the top of the set and thecasing. The cover flaps are then folded into position and the casingsealed in any suitable manner as by means ot a strip ot adhesive tape17.

l'lfhere the articles packed are relatively heavy, or if the shippingbox is liable to be subjected to unusual rough handling during'transportatioi'i, the liners 1.8 may be rc- .placed by othersconstructed similarly to the messes top cushioning member which beingpro vided with sections on all edge iortions is relatively stronger. y

roni Figs. l and 2 it is apparent that casing 10 when fitted with liners18 a top cushioning member 22 each having folded edge sections 20 andrespectimly, is thus provided with substantial bracinri means for theinner corner edges ot seid ing which also serve to cushion the con*tents from sudden blows'and contacts il? the box is carelessly and,roughly handled during transportation. i

It will thus be seen that there is pio. vided a device in which theseveral objects of this invention are achieved and which is Well adaptedto meet the conditions oi p tactical use.

As various possible embodiments.ini be made ofthe above invention, andas :if ous changes might be made in the einl ment above set forth, it isto be understood that all matter herein set forth or show" i. in theeccompsir drawing is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in alimitm ing sense.

Having thus' described my invention, l claim as new and desire to secureby Letter Patent l. A packing and shipping bor comprising en outercasing, and a plurality of nonintersecting spacing partitions srrengedabut one another and to form the inner Walls of the box, at least one ofsaid partitions having edge portions thereof folded successively toextend down, outward, up and infolded from the normal. front sorteos cisaid partition to form tubular sections, the side Walls of seid sectionsserving to support and space the partitions -from. the walls.

face or? said liner to form tubular sections, thel I side Walls of saidsections serving to sup port and specs the liner from interior Wall of.'the bos.

3. In a packing and shipping box, a cushioning member made of a singlepiece corrugated paper board creased and. folded to form a rectangularshaped body portion. having all the edge portions thereof folded toextend back and intolded `from the normal front surface of saidcushioning; inemloer to form tubular sections, the side walls oi saidsections serving lo suliport and space the liner from an interior walloti the box.

'4. A packing and shipping bon comprising an outer casing,r and aplurality oi nonintcrsccting spacing`r partitions arranged to llt;

mames@ abut one another and to form the inner Walls of the box, eachartition having edge portions thereof folded successively to extenddown` outward, up and infolded from the normal front surface of saidartition to form tubular sections7 said sectlons serving as bracingmeans along the inner corner vedges of the box and adapted to supportand space the contents from the outer casing.

5. A packing and shipping box comprising an outer casing and a pluralityof nonintersectng cushioning members arranged to abut one another and toform the inner walls of the box, at least one of said members liavingall the edge portions thereof folded to extend back and in'foldcd fromthe normal front surface of said member to form tubular sections, saidsections serving as bracing means which extend completely about theinner corner edges of the box and yadapted to support and space thecontents from the adjacent wall of the outer casing. g

6. In a packing and shipping box, a cushioning liner made of a singlepiece of corruu gated paper board, cut into a blank, creased and foldedto have a middle rectangular shaped recessed portion adapted toaccommodate projecting parts of the contents of the box, and tubularedge portions adapted to support and space the vliner from the Wall ofthe box and also to serve as bracing means for the inner corner edges ofthe casing, said tubular sections being folded successively.l

to extend down, outward, up and inolded from the normal front surface ofthe liner.
